This Disc is Awsome, March 1, 2000
I first borrowed this CD from a friend of mine after he told me that they were the ones that sang Little Black Backpack. I guess he was sick of me asking who the group was. Anyway, I played the disc and was surprised that I liked as many songs as I did. Usually the only song that's good is the one they play on the radio, but not in this case. After keeping my friends disc for a month or two he took it from me, quite forcibly and so I went out and bought it right away. My neighbors in my dorm are pretty sick of me playing that disc all the time, but some day they'll realize the greatness of Stroke 9. I can't wait for their next album. I love all the songs but like someone else said I really like tracks 1, 3 and 5.

keep on strokin', December 8, 1999
Finally--a band for the mid-20 somethings who have been lost for years in the music scene. Nowadays, all we hear on so-called "alternative rock" stations is this punk/rap/noise that all the teenages love. This CD is chock full of harmonious tunes with a very slight 80's alternative influence. Definitely worth buying.

Pleasantly suprised, but not extremely enthralled, August 15, 2000
I bought this song primarily because I couldn't get the song "Little Black Backpack" out of my head... and so I bought the cd to hear a better voice sing it then my own. I tried out listening to the other songs on the cd, and found I wasn't to into it. I stuck the cd in my car, and didn't bring it back out for a couple of months. About three weeks ago I discovered it again, and began listening to it all over again... it's great! The whole cd!
You know how some cds, or songs you fall in love with the first time you hear it, and think "Wow!"... but others you kind of shrug off, and hear it more, and more and decide you like it? That's EXACTLY what this cd is like! I give it a B+... it's definetly worth purchasing, but give it some time, and you'll love it!
My personal favorite songs on the cd (not including "Little Black Backpack, got to love it though...Include "Letters", "Tail of the Sun", "Tear me in two", but those are just favorites... they're all great! What I think definetly is the most impressive thing about this album is how smart, and fasinating the lyrics are. Buy it now!!!!
